Chapter 40: The True World

A steamed bun’s slit.

A steaming, sultry slit.

🥵.

“Xiao Yi, what are you up to?!”

Shen Xixi straddled Lin Yi’s neck, her lips curling into a provocative smile as she gripped his shirt tightly.

[Sanction Mode’s effectiveness varies based on the target’s ability level. Without continuous commands, it loses control over highly capable women after they complete the first instruction.]

Damn it!

Why wasn’t this mentioned sooner?!

Lin Yi’s heart raced in shock.

He was about to be drowned in this honeyed trap!

“Shen Xixi, you…”

Lin Yi opened his mouth, scrambling to issue another command.

But Shen Xixi’s fingers swiftly clamped over his lips, silencing him before he could speak.

“Xiao Yi, I knew it—you still can’t let me go, can you? You’re still so attached~~ Now that I’m here, you’ve got to do something for me. It’s just us in this room.”

Lin Yi, pinned under Shen Xixi’s thighs, had already burned through over half his stamina activating Sanction Mode. Her overwhelming strength rocked him back and forth, leaving him powerless to resist.

He stumbled forward a few steps and collapsed onto the sofa.

In an instant, their positions shifted—Shen Xixi reclined on the sofa, her thighs locking Lin Yi’s head in a vice-like grip.

“So eager, just like old times. You’re like a wild little wolf pup, ravenously licking your helpless lamb, stripping away its wool, tasting its tender flesh, breathing in that intoxicating aroma, and devouring the juicy meat. That succulent lamb is your favorite feast…”

Shen Xixi’s words oozed with lasciviousness as she pressed Lin Yi’s head down firmly.

Some things needed no words—actions spoke louder.

Feel it.

Savor it.

And let it all pour out unrestrained.

Resistance was futile.

Even with Lin Yi’s 21 stamina points—14 base, 5 from side quests, and 2 from the recent task—Sanction Mode had drained over half his reserves. He was weaker than an ordinary woman now, let alone able to challenge Shen Xixi.

He’d need to wait until tomorrow’s stamina recovery to even stand a chance against her.

Damn it!

Lin Yi felt a surge of frustration.

Even with special abilities, escaping the biological gap in this world was impossible.

Powerful women could even shrug off his system’s skills.

[Not quite, big brother. I explained it clearly before. Your commands are followed by those under Sanction Mode, but their strength varies. For instance, the command at Yucai High School required physical contact. Just now, it was only verbal, and the target was an exceptionally strong woman. After completing the first command without follow-up, she naturally regained control. It’s like a mage getting jumped by a warrior or assassin—big brother, it’s normal you couldn’t fight back.]

“Not the time for snark! Do something!”

Lin Yi seethed.

[Hmm? Big brother, why not just give her what she wants? Isn’t that what she’s after? Just go for it.]

“…”

Lin Yi’s eyes sharpened.

Damn, crude but logical.

His unhinged ex-girlfriend wanted exactly that.

With his wife Yayun gone, Bai Shuang stepping in as her proxy, Li Huayu, Luo Tianyou, and the madness at Yucai High School—this world’s reality had spiraled into chaos, impossible to grasp. He’d kept Shen Xixi at a distance for Yayun’s sake, but with everything so tangled, why cling to that resolve?

He was just shackling himself, trapped on both ends…

Lin Yi’s gaze focused, and he opened his mouth…

Mmph!

With an uncontrollable sound, Lin Yi finally seized a chance to break free from Shen Xixi’s hold.

Pop!

“Pah!”

Lin Yi spat, wiping his mouth.

Shen Xixi giggled, striking a sultry pose on the sofa, one leg playfully raised.

“Xiao Yi, I’m thrilled. Looks like you’ve finally let go of your baggage and stopped obsessing over your fiancée…”

Lin Yi clamped a hand over Shen Xixi’s mouth. “What’s between us stays between us. It has nothing to do with my fiancée.”

“Heh, alright, if you say so, Xiao Yi. I’ll drop it. I’m in a great mood today.”

Shen Xixi grinned, slipping on her underwear, unfazed by the drenched sofa. She shot Lin Yi a seductive, teasing glance. “I’m heading out. Next time I call, I expect you to pick up, no matter what.”

Lin Yi’s lips twitched as he watched his ex-girlfriend saunter out and close the door behind her.

This woman’s stamina was freakishly high.

Compared to before, she was even more terrifying—like plunging into a bottomless ocean. The deeper you went, the vaster it felt, wrapped in layers of water at different temperatures.

Even in Berserk Mode, with his body down to its last sliver of stamina, he couldn’t find a single chink in her armor.

Utterly terrifying.

The old Shen Xixi was insatiable, but this level of intensity was like she’d taken some kind of superdrug.

Lin Yi shook his head.

No matter what, his focus now was completing tasks to grow stronger.

What good were skills if he couldn’t even speak?

He needed at least 30 stamina points to face Shen Xixi…

[Big brother, there’s something I’m not sure if I should mention.]

“Spit it out, no games.”

[Well, you know this world’s tech level is similar to Earth’s, but in some areas, the tech tree is wildly skewed—like biotechnology.]

Lin Yi nodded.

Nearly two years in this world, he’d initially thought its technology matched Earth’s. But over time, he’d uncovered some absurd differences.

Drugs, tech, and human genetic modifications were insanely common here, completely unregulated.

Earth’s ethical and legal boundaries didn’t exist. Experiments that would be covert there were conducted openly here.

This was most evident in fitness. On Earth, bodybuilders living to 35 were considered long-lived, 40 a legend.

Here, it was like ninety dragons pulling a coffin—women with physiques dwarfing Ronnie Coleman’s were everywhere.

Captain Li was just a minor example.

With women’s naturally superior physicality, this aspect was especially horrifying.

[So, big brother, thinking 30 stamina points will let you take on Shen Xixi and the others? That’s just the starting line. You have a system, but they can use drugs and get stronger too. Especially Shen Xixi—she’d do all kinds of crazy things for you.]

“No way…”

Lin Yi’s mouth twitched.

Would Shen Xixi turn into someone like Captain Li?!

[What are you thinking, big brother? Muscle-only drugs wouldn’t catch her eye. This world has all sorts of genetic surgeries and enhancement potions. Plus, women here have various special abilities—eyes are just one part. Sadly, these surgeries and potions don’t work on men. I’d advise against aiming for just 30 stamina points. Keep completing tasks—that’s what matters.]

[You haven’t even seen the true face of this world yet, big brother.]

Tch!

Lin Yi clicked his tongue.

So that’s how it was.

What kind of nonsense female-superior, male-inferior world was this? This was a damn fantasy realm!

Women lifting two or three tons, punching through doors—that was already wild. And now, special eye abilities, genetic surgeries, and enhancement potions?!

It was a miracle men hadn’t been reduced to breeding stock, and that he’d survived this long…

Lin Yi took a deep breath, his resolve not wavering but growing firmer.

No matter how much he pondered, taking the first step was what counted.

He already had a vague plan in mind.

The main storyline was his first step.

Yucai High School would be his second.

Lin Yi started cleaning up the mess, sweeping away the shattered coffee table and scrubbing the sofa.

It took nearly an hour and a half.

The sound of a key turning in the lock came from the door.

Bai Shuang was back.

“Xiao Yi, I’m home.”

Bai Shuang tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, slipping off her black high heels at the entrance and stepping into slippers. She padded into the room. “Hey, let’s have beef tonight. I got some beef head meat—it’s supposed to be really fresh.”
